•Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance or use of range can result in serious injury or property damage.

C A U T I O N S

Damage to the range may occur if range is moved or lifted by grasping the main top or backguard. All freestanding ranges with a glass-top have a non lift-top. Coil tops are lift-up.

For SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS do not install a range in any combustible cabinetry which is not in accord with the installation clearances found under “Important: Keep for Local Electrical Inspector.”

This range has been designed in accordance with the requirements of various safety agencies and complies with the maximum allowable wood cabinet temperatures of 194˚F. If this range is installed with cabinets that have a lower working temperature than 194˚F, discoloration, delamination or melting may occur.

Place range in a well lit area. Do not set range over holes in the floor or other locations where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any opening in the wall behind the range and in the floor under the range should be sealed. Make sure the flow of cooling/ventilation air is not obstructed below the range. Note: A range should NOT be installed over kitchen carpeting.

W A R N I N G

•All RANGES CAN TIP AND CAUSE INJURIES TO PERSONS.

•INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICES PACKED WITH RANGE.

•FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

A risk of range tip-over exists if the appliance is not installed in accordance with the provided installation instructions. The proper use of the ANTI-TIP device minimizes the risk of TIP-OVER. In using this device the consumer must still observe the safety precautions as stated in the USE and CARE MANUAL and avoid using the oven doors as a step stool. Installation instructions are provided for wood and cement in either floor or wall. Any other type of construction may require special installation techniques as deemed necessary to provide adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP bracket to the floor or wall. The bracket may be installed to engage the LEFT or RIGHT rear leveling foot. NOTE: The bracket provided is designed for use with flush mount and non-flush mount outlet receptacles. Install the bracket with the orientation hole in the longer leg against the wall or floor as shown in steps 9-12.

MOBILE HOMES

The installation of a range designed for mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24 HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1-latest edition, or with local codes.

CONNECTING THE RANGE

The range must be installed in accordance with Local and National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or Canadian Electric Code CSA STD.C221 latest edition. See rating plate for total connected KW rating.

Your local utility company will tell you whether the present electric service to your home is adequate. It may be necessary to increase the size of the wiring to the house and service switch to take care of the electrical load demanded by the range. The kilowatt rating for the range is specified on the rating plate located on flip-up plate at the rear center of backguard.

Most local Building Regulations and Codes require that all electrical wiring be done by licensed electricians. All wiring should conform to Local and National Electrical Codes. This range requires a single phase three wire 120/240 or a 120/208 volt, 60 Hz, AC circuit. Wiring codes require a separate circuit be run from the main entrance panel to the range and that it be equipped with separate disconnect switch and fuses, either in the main entrance panel or in a separate switch and fuse box.

Some models are shipped direct from the factory with service cord attached. There are no range connections necessary on these models. Just plug into the wall outlet. On models not provided with a service cord, connection to the power supply is necessary in accordance with local codes. Provisions for using either conduit or a flexible power cord are provided. When using a power supply cord, use only a supply cord with closed loop terminals rated either 240 volts, 40 amps or 240 volts, 50 amps that is marked for use with nominal 1-3/8” (34.94 mm) diameter connection opening and marked for ranges. A 4-conductor cord is to be used on new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational vehicles and where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. A 3-wire service may be used when permitted by local codes. When a power supply cord is used, a cord no longer than 4 feet should be used.
